Application October 29, 1945, Serial No. 625,346
1 Claim. (01. 248- -252) This invention relates to a bracket adapted to be attached to a window casing and to which can be secured fittings of the usual types provided for supporting window shades, drapes, curtains, etc.
It has been the general practice heretofore to fasten these supporting devices directly to the window casing and where changes in locations of the supporting devices are made, the appearance of the casing has become marred and frequently considerable damage has been done. Various means have been devised for overcoming this objection by providing metal brackets of different shapes to which the supporting elements can be attached but these have all been objectionable because they require generally the use of supporting means of standard forms or else are made to hold said means in fixed predetermined relations.
An object of the present invention is to provide a window casing bracket to which any kind of supporting device or devices can be attached and which permits changes in the location of these devices whenever desired, it being unnecessary at any time to mutilate the window casing in any way.
It is a further object to provide a bracket of this type which is simple in construction and cheap to manufacture and which can be made to constitute an ornamental addition to the window casing.
A further object is to provide a bracket which can be applied readily and which can be easily removed when so desired.
With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists of certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter more fully described and pointed out in the claims, it being understood that changes may be made in the construction and arrangement of parts without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed.
In the accompanying drawing the preferred form of the invention has been shown.
In said drawing Figure 1 is a view partly in front elevation and partly in section of a portion of a window casing to which are connected two brackets such as constitute the present invention, one of the positions to which each of these brackets can be moved being indicated by broken lines.
Figure 2 is a perspective view of a bracket.
Referring to the figures by characters of reference, I designates an elongated attaching strip preferably of metal although obviously it could be made of other material. This strip is provided with one or more keyhole slots 2 and secured to one end portion of the strip is a block 3 extending at right angles to the strip. This block preferably is of wood or other material to which supporting devices, such as window shade brackets, curtain rod brackets, etc, can easily be attached by the use of screws or nails.
In practice two of these brackets are used. Each strip 1 is laid on the top of a window casing C so that the block 3 will be suspended close to or in contact with, the side of the casing. Screws or other attaching means 4 are then inserted through the keyhole slots 2 and into the casing after which the block 3 is pressed against the side of the casing and the attaching means tightened. By using two of these brackets at opposite sides of the casing it is then possible to nail or otherwise attach to blocks 3 the usual window shade brackets, curtain pole brackets, or the like which ordinarily would have been attached directly to the casing. Obviously there is no limitation as to the positions where the supporting devices can be attached to the blocks 3 and consequently it is an easy matter to fasten shades, rollers, or rods of different lengths in position across the casing.
Under some conditions it might be desirable to attach the supporting elements at points above the level of the casing C. In that case all that is necessary is to reverse the positions of the strips I so that the blocks 3 will be extended upwardly as indicated by broken lines in Fig. 1, instead of downwardly.
While the blocks 3 have been illustrated of rectangular configuration it is to be understood that they can be made of other shapes so as to constitute ornamental additions to the sides of the casing.
By providing the keyhole slots in the strip 1 it is possible to readily remove and replace the strips without detaching the fastening means.
What is claimed is:
As an attachment to one upper corner of a window casing, a reversible and detachable bracket comprising a fiat strip of metallic material having longitudinally aligned screw-receiving keyhole slots near one end, means for attaching the strip to the casing, comprising fastening elements permanently afiixed to the casing, the fastening elements being receivable in the keyhole slots, the end of the strip being extended part way toward the opposite corner of the casy 3 p 7 4 ing, the other end of the strip having screw- REFERENCES CITED receiving openings, a. block screw-attached at one end to the latter end-0f the strip and extended The following references are of record i the at a right angle from the strip, one face of the file of this Patent: 7 block ibeing flush with the face of the casing to 5 TED which the strip is attachable, the strip being pro- UNI STATES PATENTS .portioned for removal from its connection with Number Name Date the casing, for reversed connection thereto. 881,672 Ebenhock Mar. 10,1908 1,1:243529, Alien p.. lqn :12, 1915 HARRY E.
